Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 267 The Gao brothers, terrified of poverty, harbored murderous intentions towards Uncle Tai!

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant!

Gao Qiqiang's ambition has expanded to an unprecedented level.

He could still pretend nothing was wrong in front of his godfather, Uncle Tai.

Even if his godfather didn't give the two brothers a single penny of reward or benefit for the Xiawan Power Plant project, he wouldn't show the slightest dissatisfaction.

However, Gao Qiqiang naturally held nothing back in front of his younger brother Gao Qisheng, with whom he had relied on each other since childhood and whom he trusted and doted on.

"Establish a powerful group, acquire Jinghai Construction, and grow bigger and stronger..."

Gao Qisheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he took a deep breath.

His older brother's words today really startled him.

Before this.

Gao Qisheng had considered expanding his business.

Last year, when his elder brother became the godfather of Chen Tai, the underground godfather of Jinghai, he was very envious of his elder brother, thinking that his elder brother had a good godfather.

When Chen Tai fulfilled his promise and bought Xu Jiang's Platinum Club as a gift for his elder brother, he was extremely envious.

He later mentioned that once his elder brother had established himself in Jinghai Construction Group, he would find a way to get himself in as well, so that the two brothers could work together and make a name for themselves.

But now...

The eldest brother not only didn't want to get himself involved, but actually wanted to take over Jinghai Construction.

This crazy idea was naturally beyond Gao Qisheng's expectations.

After all, how long have these two brothers been able to turn their fortunes around?

At this time last year, the two brothers opened their first Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone) specialty store on Jiuchang Street, with capital pieced together from various sources.

Of that, 20,000 yuan was hard-earned.

Bai Jiangbo paid Tang Xiaolong and his brother to teach Xu Jiang's precious son, Xu Lei, a lesson.

Because Xu Lei caused trouble at the casino in Baijiang Boxiawan, he deliberately lost money and borrowed more, only to lose again, and never paid back his debts.

The Tang brothers mistakenly believed that their elder brother was close to Officer An Xin and had some connections, so they wanted to team up with their elder brother to deal with Xu Lei.

Who knew that Xu Lei was electrocuted and drowned in a pond due to a faulty device while fishing with electricity? Xu Jiang, however, remained convinced that his elder brother and Tang Xiaolong were the murderers.

Xu Jiang was once one of the underground bosses in Jinghai. He was ruthless, domineering, rich, and powerful. The Gao brothers had to use their wits and courage to bring him down, and their victory was not easy.

now.

More than a year has passed.

Although the business of Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service) was getting better and better, the Huilong chain of internet cafes, which cooperated with the Zhao family of Handong, were also opening more and more, and the business was booming.

However, compared to Chen Tai, who had been in the business world for decades, and others like Jinghai Construction Group, which had painstakingly built up its business over many years...

Gao Qisheng still felt that the two brothers were still outnumbered and outmatched.

Acquiring Jinghai Construction Group is no less than letting a small snake swallow an elephant.

"Brother, are you...are you sure?"

Gao Qisheng slowly stood up and solemnly emphasized:

"Did you know that after the Tang family was destroyed, Chen Tai merged and reorganized a large number of people and projects of Haifu Group, and now its strength has greatly increased. Construction Group is now the largest private construction engineering company and real estate developer in Jinghai?"

"Of course I know!"

Gao Qiqiang crossed his legs and nonchalantly took a puff of his cigarette.

"And you don't know that today General Manager Zhao went to the Xiawan Thermal Power Plant construction site and gave a lot of suggestions for the project."

“If we follow his instructions, this project will not only make Jinghai Construction a lot of money, but also further enhance its strength.”

"Most importantly, Jinghai Construction will gain this very convincing achievement, and in the future, it can rely on this achievement to increase its competitiveness for similar projects!"

"In addition, Uncle Tai also convened a meeting of the group's senior management this afternoon. Everyone unanimously agreed to recruit manpower and purchase equipment, and follow President Zhao to get a share of the pie in the wind power industry!"

"If things continue to develop like this, Jinghai Construction Group will become stronger and stronger, and Uncle Tai's position in President Zhao's eyes will become higher and higher. In the future, they will cooperate on any projects, and we brothers will just have to watch helplessly?"

"This……"

Gao Qisheng bit his lip and fell silent.

With his extremely high IQ, he knew, of course, that his older brother wasn't just making wild guesses, but that it was a very likely fact.

Who is Mr. Zhao, this important figure?

The two brothers knew it, and Chen Tai knew it even better.

Not to mention how powerful and influential Mr. Zhao's father, Zhao Lichun, is.

He's absolutely certain he'll soon succeed Zhou Weihong as the mayor of Jinghai City, Zhao Lidong.

This powerful backing and influential connections were enough to make Chen Tai and his Gao brothers go to great lengths to curry favor with him.

That's why Chen Tai went to great lengths yesterday to renovate the roads around the company and the main roads of the development zone before the unveiling ceremony of Huilong Energy began today, all in an attempt to curry favor with General Manager Zhao.

He even had his older brother call him to inquire about Mr. Zhao's whereabouts. Upon learning that Mr. Zhao was free tonight, he planned to host a grand banquet for him. It's not hard to imagine how frantically he would flatter and fawn over him at the dinner.

From Zhao Ruilong's perspective...

As long as the project is done well, it doesn't matter who you cooperate with.

Since Chen Tai is both the godfather of Jinghai's underground society and the chairman of Jinghai Construction Group.

Cooperating with Chen Tai would obviously save more time, effort, and worry.

therefore.

With Gao Qisheng's exceptionally high intelligence, he quickly realized that Chen Tai, who was frantically trying to curry favor with him, was almost certain to get on Zhao Zong's good side.

Today, the two of them have met twice, once at the unveiling ceremony and once at the Xiawan Power Plant construction site.

If we could have dinner together tonight and have a good drink...

How could this relationship not progress by leaps and bounds?

Gao Qisheng was still thinking.

Gao Qiqiang, frowning as he smoked, muttered to himself:

"1984, which is seventeen years ago!"

"That year, I was thirteen years old, you were only six, and Xiaolan was only four."

"Our father, who loves to beat and scold his family when he's drunk, has been advised by countless people and has written countless guarantees, but he remains incorrigible."

"Finally, in that year, he and his mother drove to deliver goods, and on the way they drank too much, resulting in a car accident in which they both died. The factory saw that the three of us siblings were pitiful, so they classified it as a work injury and compensated them with 500 yuan."

"I used that five hundred yuan to rent a fish stall in the old factory street market and raised you and your sister. To earn a little money, to have a full meal, I had no dignity at all..."

At this point, tears welled up in Gao Qiqiang's eyes.

Gao Qisheng had already clenched his fists.

For the two brothers, the days of poverty and hardship were truly unforgettable.

Over the years, there have actually been some things he has kept from his older brother.

That is because he felt sorry for his older brother, thinking that his older brother had already worked hard enough to earn tuition fees for him.

So he lied and claimed that he was in university and could earn his living expenses through part-time work.

But actually?

The academic pressure is considerable, and there isn't much free time.

Where do you find so much time to work part-time while studying?

How did he get through those four years?

The answer is simple.

He helped Cao Bin, whose family was well-off, by answering his attendance in class and doing his homework.

He lived on kimchi rice for almost four years.

I thought that with graduation approaching, I saw a business opportunity: opening a mobile phone store could make me rich and change my destiny.

But the result?

He was tricked by Cao Bin again.

Not only did they raise prices unexpectedly, but they also demanded a kickback of 20,000 yuan, otherwise they would sever their cooperative relationship with Gong Kaijiang of the telecommunications company.

When Cao Bin invited him to the Baijinhan Club to pick up girls and drink, Cao Bin actually mocked and ridiculed him, asking him to play the chicken-and-rabbit game.

afterwards.

The two urinated in the roadside bushes. Cao Bin couldn't find his phone, and while he was bending down to look for it, Gao Qisheng picked up a stone and started smashing it and cursing at him.

He vented his frustrations and resentments from the past three years of doing homework and eating kimchi rice, beating Cao Bin so badly that he remains unconscious to this day.

Because he was very clever afterwards, he quickly rushed back to the Bai Jinhan Club, pretended that he couldn't find his phone, and angrily berated the prostitute for stealing it. Many people saw him doing this.

With an excellent alibi, and no cameras or eyewitnesses in the roadside bushes, Cao Bin's attack case remains unsolved to this day.

and so……

Speaking of dignity... Gao Qisheng craves dignity even more.

After he became rich, the reason he went on a buying spree of luxury cars and designer brands, and presented himself as handsome, dashing, and debonair, was because he was extremely sensitive about his self-esteem and especially did not want to live a life of poverty again.

now.

The two brothers finally turned their fortunes around and their careers started to improve.

With the help of General Manager Zhao Ruilong, he should have had a very bright future.

That old fox Chen Tai actually wanted to use the two brothers as a stepping stone to poach Boss Zhao and make him his benefactor.

Can you agree to this?

If Chen Tai really manages to get on General Manager Zhao's good side...

Even if my own business is unaffected, what about my older brother?

If he works under Chen Tai and at Jinghai Construction Group, wouldn't he just be a laborer for life?

"No! No!"

"We absolutely cannot let Chen Tai and General Manager Zhao get too close!"

"If those two start working closely together, wouldn't you become dispensable at Jinghai Construction Group, brother?"

Meeting his younger brother's worried and angry gaze, Gao Qiqiang nodded helplessly.

"Yes!"

"After retiring from the underworld, my godfather didn't want to fight anymore and was very disgusted by using underhanded methods."

"What he needs more is someone like Chengcheng, who is highly educated, cultured, and professionally competent, rather than someone like me, a fishmonger from humble beginnings!"

"So now, my most important use to him is that I can get in touch with the powerful and influential President Zhao through you and get him projects."

Gao Qisheng gritted his teeth.

"But we got him the project, and he didn't reward us. That's just too unfair."

Gao Qiqiang chuckled.

After taking a drag of his cigarette, he chuckled awkwardly:

"Aren't many business owners like this?"

"I think that if I pay my employees a salary, they should work for me."

"If the business performs well and earns more money, that's due to the boss's effective management. What does it have to do with the employees?"

"..."

Gao Qisheng was both amused and exasperated.

The elder brother's explanation was both apt and heartbreaking.

After flicking off his cigarette ash, Gao Qiqiang continued to complain:

"Moreover, he will definitely think that since upgrading and renovating the factory for General Manager Zhao was a loss-making endeavor and a lot of money was spent on repairing the surrounding roads, then making money on the Xiawan Power Plant project and other future projects is what he deserves."

Gao Qisheng nodded repeatedly.

"You're right, that's exactly what he planned."

"Since he has never treated us brothers as family, why should we be polite to him?"

As he spoke, Gao Qisheng reached for his phone.

Just then, my phone rang.

"Oh, it's Mr. Zhao on the phone."

"What a coincidence! Then answer it quickly!"
